Battlestar Galactica On SciFi Channel

[Cheeze]

I can really only remember one line from Battle Beyond the Stars:

Zador? Of the Malmouri?

I want his head.

It's also a pretty cool observation that The Seven Samurai was inspired by the spaghetti westerns. I like how Robert Vaughn, who played the cowardly character in Magnificent Seven (George Peppard's character in BBTS, I think), played the cool warrior with no fear (Yul Brynner in Magnificent Seven) in the BBTS.

EDIT NOTE: I was wrong, the spaghetti westerns followed Seven Samurai. In particular, Sergio Leone's Fistful of Dollars (adapted from Yojimbo). Kurosawa was inspired by epic westerns (films directed by John Ford in particular) when making his films, including Seven Samurai. I meant to say westerns, but I was hungry, and spaghetti slipped in there.

I'm looking forward to Battlestar Galactica. I like how the predominant weapon seems to be missiles. Guess the point-defense isn't quite that good in that universe.
